The 100ml bottle provides multiple doses and comes with a measuring spoon to ensure accurate dosing. This formulation is particularly suitable for children who have difficulty swallowing solid medicines or prefer liquid alternatives.

 

How Ibuprofen Works to Reduce Pain and Inflammation

 

Ibuprofen belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It works by blocking the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in your body that cause pain, inflammation, and fever. By reducing prostaglandin levels, ibuprofen effectively decreases pain signals and lowers elevated body temperature.

The liquid formulation allows for faster absorption compared to solid forms, typically providing relief within 30-60 minutes of administration. The anti-inflammatory properties also help reduce swelling associated with injuries or infections.

 

Suitable for Children Aged 7 Years and Over

 

This ibuprofen suspension is specifically indicated for children aged 7 years and above who weigh at least 20kg.

• Headaches and migraines
• Dental pain and toothache
• Earache and throat pain

Orange-Flavoured Formula for Better Acceptance

 

The suspension features an orange flavour to improve palatability and encourage compliance in children who may be reluctant to take medicine. This flavouring helps mask the natural taste of ibuprofen whilst maintaining the medicine's effectiveness. The liquid consistency makes it easier to swallow than tablets or capsules.

The formulation is sugar-free, making it suitable for children with dietary restrictions or those concerned about dental health. Each dose provides consistent medication delivery when measured accurately using the provided measuring spoon.
